' IMPRQVED :SAVES-THROUGH.

The Schedule referred to in these Lettera Patent:A and making part of the same.

To all whom lit may conce/rn Be it known that I, WILLIAM ADEL, of ARockton, in the county of Winnebago, Aand in the State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in EavesTroughs; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof', reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this'speciiication.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction of paper eaves-trughs and spouting, as will be hereinafter fully set forth.

In order to enable others Askilled in the art to which my invention appertains, to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring tos-the annexed drawings, in wbicb- Figure l is a longitudinal vertical section, and

Figure 2 is an end view. y

A represents an eaves-trough made of paper Asaturated with some kind of composition, so as to render it impervious to water, and bent in proper shape.

The edges of the trough are inserted into grooved bars B B, and secured therein by screws or other suit-v able means.

Within the trough, at any desired point, is plaoeda semicircular wooden partition, C, to hold the trough in the shape desired, said blocks or partitions being secured by the screws passing throughthe grooved bars B B.' -The partitions C C may be made of any shapeor size desired, so as to cause the trough to retain the form given to the same.

Atany desired point in the bottom of thel trough Ais an opening, frol'n whichv a pipe, D, leads downward. This pipe is also made of paper saturated with composition, and is connected with the trough in any suitable manner.

The lower end of the pipe D is made thinner than therest ofthe pipe by being out olf on the outside, 4

The lower end of the pipe E is made inthe same manner as the lower end of the pipe D, and by this means the' spouting can be extended .to any height.

Having thus fully described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The trough O O, all constructed substantially as'described, and for the purposes setv forth..

2. In combination'with trough A, bars B B, and partitions C C, the pipes D and'E, constructed substantially as described, and for the purposes set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto. set my hand, this 13thdayfof September, 1869.

WILLIAM ADEL.
